The Cybertruck not being road legal in the UK is one of the few sensible things we're doing at the moment so I expect it to be overturned within 6 months

UK. England is just one of the collection of countries. There’s some variation on laws and shit, but this one will be the same.

Isn't the Certificate of Conformity a EU thing mostly? Have they just kept that lol?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Everything from the EU was explicitly kept upon leaving with changes made coming through legislation in order to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Love to leave the EU only to stick to all EU legislation except the ECHR

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty much!

[–] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Leaving the ECHR terrifies me even more than leaving the EU.

We're supposedly making and pushing our own amazing replacement standard to the CE.

But given that no other country recognises UKCA and its requirements are identical to CE. We've basically spent millions and 5 years pushing a redundant, unused, literally useless standard. So everybody still just uses CE.
